 Hello and welcome to today's episode of the International Daily Roundup brought to you by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major stories from around the world. Let's take a look at some of the headlines. Wetzewet and activists warn of another police raid, Israeli forces kill Palestinian men during another raid, U.K. jury acquits constant four anti-racism protesters, and rural childcare workers go on strike in India. In our first story, we go to the province of British Columbia and Canada. The U.S. water protectors of the Wetzewet and Territory have warned of another militarized raid. In order to avoid further arrests, they have announced a retreat from the Coyote Camp protest site. The Wetzewet and protest have been resisting the coastal gas link or CGL pipeline on the land for years. The area in question covers over 22,000 square kilometers of traditional unseeded territory. Since 2019, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the RCMP has carried out three invasions into the territory. Over 70 people including hereditary chiefs, activists and journalists have been arrested. Meanwhile, CGL has refused to abide by a 2020 eviction order issued by Wetzewet and hereditary chiefs. In September 2021, indigenous activists set up the Coyote Camp to block a key pipeline drill site. In November, they shut down a forest service road to enforce the eviction order against CGL. However, RCMP forces attacked Camp Coyote and arrested 30 people including traditional leaders. To justify this, Wetzewet and activists reoccupied the protest site and blockade on December 19. However, on January 3, the Grimton Checkpoint stated that they had received reports of the RCMP making its way to the territory. The activists announced on Thursday that they had carried out a strategic retreat to avoid arrest and violence. However, the Wetzewet and water and land defenders have said that they will continue their struggle through other means. In our next story, Israeli forces killed 21-year-old Palestinian man during a raid in the occupied West Bank on January 6. Bakir Hashash was shot at the entrance of the Balata Refugee Camp near Nablus. The Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces had opened fire on Palestinians in the area. Hashash was shot and later died of his injuries in the hospital. Israeli forces repeatedly carried out violent pre-dawn raids in the West Bank, including in areas under the Palestinian Authority. Palestinians resisting the occupation's actions are met with disproportionate and deadly violence. A Batsalem report found that Israel's lethal, wanted and unlawful open fire policy killed 313 Palestinians in 2021. 77 of these killings took place in the occupied territories. Beyond the near total immunity already given to its forces, Israel has now revised its open fire rules. Israeli forces in the West Bank can now shoot Palestinians for allegedly throwing rocks at civilian cars. Civilians refers to illegal Israeli settlers who are often themselves armed and carry out violent attacks. The rules reportedly apply to Palestinians who are fleeing or not holding rocks when shot. The measure is a violation of international law. Israel has already been condemned for using an indiscriminate shoot-to-kill policy. The revised open rules will work to codify this. Riot's groups have outlined cases where a person was shot despite being quote unquote neutralized or even unconscious. In our next story, we go to the UK where four anti-racism protesters have been cleared of criminal charges. Ryan Graham Milo Pondsford, Jake Scrooge in Sage Willoughby had been charged in relation to a Black Lives Matter protest. On 7 June 2020, the four took part in tearing down the statue of a 17th century slave trader, Edward Colston. The statue was then thrown into the river Avon near the Bristol Harbour. The action was part of the worldwide uprising against the racist police murder of George Floyd. The trial of the Bristol protesters who came to be known as the Colston Ford began in December 2021. While they did not deny their role in tearing down the statue, they rejected the criminal damage charge. They defended their actions arguing that the statue was so offensive that it constituted a hate crime or an indecent display. Historian David Olisoga gave expert testimony on Edward Colston during the trial. Under Colston, the Royal African Company is estimated to have abducted and enslaved nearly 85,000 African people. Despite this history, his name was displayed on roads and public schools in Bristol. Following a nine-day trial, the Colston Ford were found not guilty by his jury at the Crown Court on January 5th. And for our final story, we look at the ongoing strike by tens of thousands of rural childcare workers in India. Women across 26,000 childcare centres of Anganwadi's in the state of Haryana have been protesting for nearly a month. They are demanding better wages and recognition as government workers. Anganwadi workers play a key role in implementing nutrition and care-related policies with the grassroots. They have also been under front lines with the pandemic, often without adequate safety measures. Despite this, these workers are classified as volunteers, which denies them adequate wages and benefits. Following major protests, a cabinet committee approved a small increment for Anganwadi workers and helpers in 2018. Striking unions have stated that the Haryana government has refused to implement a measure. Anganwadi workers are currently only earning between $80 to $160 a month. Around 20,000 women held a major demonstration in the city of Karnal on January 5th. The day also marks the third round of talks between the union and the state. As reported by NewsClay, the government refused to budge on the 2018 increment. Meanwhile, it has offered dearness allowance alongside other incentives. Anganwadi workers have declared that this strike will continue until the demands are met. The unions have also announced a jail bureau or voluntary arrest agitation for January 12th. And that's all for today's episode. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
